Description

Colonizing, Decolonizing, and Globalizing Kolkata provides a comprehensive analysis of how Kolkata's architecture and urban planning evolved from colonial origins through independence and into the modern era. Authored by Siddhartha Sen and published by Routledge as part of the Asian Cities series, this richly illustrated work traces the city's transformation from a colonial settlement into a Marxist urban centre and examines its ongoing evolution towards global status. The book contextualises Kolkata's architectural developments within the broader landscape of Indian urbanism, offering readers deep insights into how political, economic, and social forces shaped the city's physical form. By examining the interplay between colonial design, post-independence planning, and contemporary globalisation pressures, this scholarly work demonstrates how cities function as living documents of historical change. Essential for students of urban history, architecture, and South Asian studies.
